AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Gita mentions that sthitha pragnya as a being without निरहङ्कारः. Sri Aurobindo says that to be truly free of निरहङ्कारः, the nature has to be supramentalised otherwise the ‘I’ sense remains, though in a sublimated and divine way. So what is निरहङ्कारः according to the Gita🤔?

Nirahankar, निरहंकार, normoha,  निर्मोह, ahamshoonya, अहमशून्य, are closely allied states. Nirahankar is the absence of egoism which is very much possible by the practice of equanimity and desirelessness (nishkama karma). Nirmoha is absence of delusion and attachment which is the state of a Jivanmukta. Ahamshoonya or egolessness comes by the realization of the One Self in all. It means one is no more identified with the mind, life and body which then continue to act under past impulsion.  For the Supramental realisation, even the mind, life and body must be freed from the ego completely in the sense that losing their separativeness they must be one with the corresponding cosmic consciousness and open to the Transcendent Beyond. There is no more any personal mind, life and body.  

Affectioneatly,

Alok Da

What to answer when someone who has no clue asks who is The Mother and Sri Aurobindo 🤔?

The answer will vary from person to person depending upon the genuineness of the query, the openness to receive the answer, readiness to understand and the stage of development at which the person stands. One has to go by the inner feel and the inspiration.

However in general one can say that before Sri Aurobindo the choice was between leading a life of ignorance (and its consequent pleasure and pain, joy and suffering) trying to make the most of it, and an escape from the world into the Beyond, through nirvana, moksha or salvation. But Sri Aurobindo brings a new possibility of…
